Y/n thought she was handling everything very well, all things considered. Sure she flipped out after seeing a kranng for the first time but it was fine, she took a shower, got some answers and moved on. Okay!

Then there was what happened a little over a month later. Finally making a proper chemical concoction to reverse the effects of mutagen, awesome! Awesome enough to earn her a place on her first mission... to de-mutate her new friend's dad who was turned into a freaky as hell giant bat thing. Okay.

Only that didn't really work out because ANOTHER mutant appeared out of nowhere, this one an acid spitting flyman who wants to mix his DNA with her friends DNA. He even went as far as to drop your friend into a vat of mutagen, but she was immuned so it was all, okay.

About a month an a half after that, Raphael and Casey came scrambling into the layer to explain that they found a bunch of broken robots that the krang used (oh right, they use robots... okay) completely demolished prompting her to go on her second real mission after weeks of nothing more than boring patrols. Leonardo made the groups and assigned Y/n and himself to patrol the sewers and she was happy because like okay.

She was more than happy to have alone time with the turtle. After his bold little slap at the end of day when they saved Mr. O'niel, the turtle had certainly become bold during their alone time. Leonardo would place his hand on her hips and butt and just leave it there. The pair started to flirt, like actually flirt, intentionally. At night, in their shared bread, they no longer bothered to give the other room. Her favorite thing was probably the light kisses that Leo left on her forehead at least three times a day. Even around his family he seemed to be constantly touching the girl, and to her this was 100% okay!

So off they went, to investigate the strange takedown of kraang droids. Before long they found their way blocked by piles of robot parts, ohkay, so they went down a side corridor to find a collection of only droid heads, OHKAY. Before long they realized that the person destroying them was another mutant turtle, only this one wasn't exactly nice. No, this was Raphael's old pet who wouldn't hesitate to kill them if given the chance, Okay.

Turns out, murder turtle Slash was not working alone. Nope he was with a newt mutant hilariously named the Newtralizer. Who was far more likely to kill anyone at a minute's notice. Terrifying, but okay. So off they went searching for the kranng and the mutants. And she was almost instantly instructed to stay back with the other human in the mission, Casey, and she was happy to say 'okay'. It all came to a head when the building they infiltrated suddenly blew up. It had shaken Y/n up something fierce but she insisted that she was still okay.

The rest of the night, Y/n was fighting for her life against the kranng, a giant walking weapon of theories and the mutants. Only during the fight she overheard one of the kraang mention that the newt mutant wasn't a mutant, but an alien. And...well sure, why not, OKAY!

So a rough battle and one burn on her arm from the exploding of the Kranng weapon later, y/n was happy to be going back to the lair with the boys. When they arrived back they treated her arm and then everyone took a few minutes to relax. It was time to just be okay.

Right?

No way!

Y/n's mind was racing. She had reached her limit of WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS HAPPENING moments. Too many questions, too many loose ends. She was NOT okay. If Leonardo couldn't tell that from her constant twisting against his side as they tried to watch a movie together in the living room, he found out the instant she was on her feet. Silently he and his brothers watched as their female roommate began pacing across the center of the living room pulling at her hair.

If that wasn't enough, her ranting soon began. It was like her usual overthinking rambles, but it was filled to brim with anxiety. Every emotion she hid behind the word Okay, was spilling over. The fear, the confusion, the exhilaration. It was obvious that she was overwhelmed and they would need to help her find a healthy way to cope with it all. Before any of them could speak however, their father entered the room. He took only a look at the ranting pacing woman before looking back at the boys.
